i may concern:- Be 1t known that I,'OTTO K-AM'PFE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the bor ough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, city and Stateof New York, have invented an Improvement in Combination Implements or Tools, of which the following ls'a specification. i

y Invention relates to a combination tool or handy implement particularly adapted for household use, a form of which is also adapted to be carried in a pocket upon the person, and my invention is an im rovement upon thedevice shown and descri cat on for Letters Patent filed May 28, 1907, Serial No. 376,104. In the disclosure of this applicat on a suitably recessed handle is provlded with ivoted blades and other handy devices, wit a hole; receiving the end of a clgarto be cut ofl -by'one of the blades and with a pivoted arm or extension rovided with a nail uller and hammer bee and an engaging-e geadapted to be brought into contact with the edge of a-metal cap ofa botfile to remove the same, and a longitudinal wire cutter is also formed on said arm.

In the device ofv my arm or extension having a bearing function is provided and a form of my invention includes the identical arm of said application, and associated with vices and placed in o erative opposition thereto, I provide a bla e having a cutting edge and penetrating point, and when these parts are associated in a juxtaposed relation,

they form a sheet metal penetrating and cutting device particularly opener. These parts ma have an integral andle or they may e same pivot pinto a rebe connected by th which they are separately cessed handle into turned. 1

Figl'fi at sid elevation of the structure shown in Fig, 3, with the parts thereof out turned' and in a position of use, and Fig. 7 isa side elevation'iof the structure shown in Fig. 4 with the parts out-, turned and in apositio'n ofu'sei.

Referring articularly to Figs. ,1 and'Z, it represents a Idade of steel brother suitable metal, and b a handleof simple form con Theblade a is made with an integral-armor extension a and with a cuttin edge a and penetrating point, there being etween said arm and cutting edge an acute angled recessjo'r aperture. On the free end of the tendin therethrough I provide an axis.2 and ro lers '3 4 on the opposite ends of the arm or extension. 'This structure represent ing my invention in its simple form is adapted for penetrating and cutting metal and is particularly adapted and useful as a can opener, in the use of which the penetrating point of the cutting edgeis pushed through the sheet metal to make an opening and'obarmor extension a and exor surface of the tain a bearing for the cutting'function of the implement in which the rollers 3 4 Whichare preferably corrugated longitudinally, and

bear upon the surface of the sheet metal and act as afulcrum upon which the blade a and handle I) as a lever ar'e's'wungto effect the metal, b the movement of which the cutter is pus ed forward by hand and swung so as'to force the portion of the blade having'the'cuttin'g edge through the aperture in the metal an'd'bring the same up near the inner end of the recess when with the elevation of the'handle thefurther part is'icut'or severed;

In Figs. 3-to 6 inclusive, c'represents the recessed handle of apocketknife and-d d pivo tedito said "haiidle and adapted "normally to" occupy arece'ss of said handle. r. ff 3 At f I hav'e'shownan"a1in pivoted at 5 to the pocket knife e'xte'iisioniagr ut h the structure shown and described "in aforesaid application; the, handlefalso Iof:"-the pocket knife substantially agreeing 'withfth at vided with a c gar cutting tpeniagea ted when n'serted r extension handle and f' therein by the downward movement of the larger blade pivoted to said. handle. This, arm or extensionf is provided with a claw part 7 and hammer head partat 8, an engaging lip part at 9 and. a wire cutting central longitudinal edge 10. These parts are the same and the construction of the arm is the same as shown in my aforesaid application, and in Fig. 3 l have shown this arm as pivoted to the recessed handle and adapted singly to perform its particular functions.

I have also shown in Figs. 3 and 6, which are th same implement, a blade a with an arm or extension a and the corrugated rollers 3 4 and cutting edge a", the same as shown with reference to Figs. 1 and 2-, and which structure is adapted to be turned into the recess of the handle as shown in Fig. 3, or to be out-turned for use as shown in Fig. 6; the edges of the knife blade handle as in F 3 being preferably recessed to receive the rollers 3 4.

In the structure shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 7, 1 have associated with the arm f shown in my aforesaid application a blade h pivoted to the handle by the ivot 5 which is also the pivot of the arm f; F fgs. t and 5 showing the normal in-turned position of the arm f and blade h and Fig. 7 the outturned position for use of said parts with the cutting edge h of the blade 71. passing through an aperture in a strip of sheet metal and in a cutting position, as it is a fact that the arm f of my aforesaid application is adapted for the performance of the cutting function when associated with. the arm h equally as well as the equivalent arm a, and cutting edge a of 1, 2, 3 and 6.

A comparison of Figs. 4 and 7 indicates clearly that the arm f pivoted at 5 is adapted to turn into the same recess of the pocket knife handle as that occupied by the blades d d and that the arm h on the pivot 5 is adapted to turn into a recess in the opposite side of the edge of the handle in line with the cork-screw e which is shown in Figs. 3, 4, 6 and 7, and also in my aforesaid application as a complementary device in the combination tool thus for the performance of the function of cutting sheet metal the juxtaposed and oppositely placed arms or extensions and cutting blades are the equivalents of one another in the forms of the invention and are equally adapted for the performance of this cutting function whether they are made integral or se )arate, whether they are connected to a handle as shown in Fig. 1 or in Fig. 3, or as separate parts as shown in Fig. 4.

I claim as my invention:
